Body shop painted my fender now my HID fogs won't work

Ok, to make a long story short I got an oil change and the service tech scratched my fender, so they paid for it to be repainted after it wouldn't buff out. I got it back today, leave work and my fog lights won't come on. I've had them since mid-november with no issues. Bought them from DDM tuning. They worked just fine before that. I checked the fuse under the hood and the fuse looked good. When I turn on the fogs the ballasts don't make the usual buzz noise. Anybody had this issue or have any ideas?

I wouldn't think so but not sure, I emailed them to find out. I'm hoping it is something that simple.

I really hope they removed bumper to paint it and not just spot paint and blend
The damage area

If they did remove bumper they could of yanked the wires out on fogs ., the passenger side fog light wire is attached by clip to bumper and yanking bumper off would most likely ruin connection

Actually they did take off the bumper and plugged them in and I knew what happened. I had to switch the connection around for them to work when I installed them. All fixed and ordered my Stillen lip.
